.This invention relates to lamp brackets, and particularly to brackets used in connection with spot lights generally sccured'to a suitable support, such as a Wind shield of a motor vehicle.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide means whereby a supporting bracket- Will be adapted to hold the lamp in a multilight source may be swung in e relrfiw wide radii, both Vertically and horizoniuhy.

It is also the purpose of my invention is construct the bracket in eh a manner their the electric conductor 1 17 be fli'iilCllfiCl to the lamp and su'- music-i n. the bracket Will 1011i? liability of chafing, end to present o more sightly appearance ihau is generally rude of positions, so that the beam from the possible With the ordinary lamp brackets now in use.

In the drawmgs:--

Figure 1 is a perspective View of 21. lamp bracket and a lamp constructed in accordance with my invention; and

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional View through the bracket, a fragment of the lamp casing and a fragment of the wind shield.

The bracket is here shown as consisting of three-parts, the lamp supporting jaws.ytl1e support engaging jaws and the connector h..- tween the lump supporting jaws and the support engaging jaws. The lamp supporting jaws are shown as consisting of two plates 5 and 6 fastened to the lamp 7 by the flanges 8 and 9 and said jaws are provided with semi-cylindrical intermediate longitudinal portions 10 and 11 which form a barrel or friction sleeve to receivcthe hollowpintle 12 of the coupling member 13. The coupling member is shown T-shupe in form and at the end of the pintle 12 is a T-heud llclmuped by the sets of fingers 15 and 16 on the support engaging juvs 1'4" and 13 ssid jaws 1'7 and 18 embracing the verticz-L support 19 in (his instance consisting of the wind shield frame. The desired amount of friction between the lump supper iug jaws 5 and 6 and the pintle 11 can be pri'ividcd h 5:? the fastening derices 20- 21., laud I the desired amount of friction on the 1% by the fing ws l5 and 16 may excl E devices and which by the 133L811 also serve to securely clump t io 5112's to the support} A channel i6 running through the pinkie and extending clown throng Hie lower end of the T-heud, guidingconduit for the electric conductor in electric circuit i'cir'u o u suitable source of supply nd the source of illumination for the lamp.
